In addition to building my skills and confidence in reading, writing and speaking Italian, I've learned more about grammar in general than I ever did in school.

I also love that they have plenty of outdoor time, and nutritious meals are provided - breakfast & lunch! As others have mentioned, I have also felt personally supported as a parent by Karina, which is always valuable but especially when entrusting your child to another's care. The children here are confident, kind, and conscientious, and the families are lovely! It has been a blessing to be part of this community.

I have been taking classes with Anne Andree for over a year now. I took French in high school and college and lived in Paris for some time but then stopped. Fast forward 30 years and my goal now is to speak and understand French when traveling. Anne Andree met me at my level and used many common sense and creative ways to help me achieve that goal. She offers her own practical techniques for learning French and then utilizes several study guides to reinforce and practice what I have learned each week. Also, she offers great advice on traveling in France. I look forward to my weekly classes and am grateful to have such a wonderful and patient teacher.

We have seen him evolve from a young student with an interest in learning French to a 17-year old, fluent French speaking, AP French student. Anne Andre tailors each lesson to a student's needs. She understands how to teach French to students, making complicated grammar rules understandable and training their ear so they can understand and speak French with an authentic accent. She does all this while also making learning fun. Our son is now getting excited to study abroad in Paris, and he can go with confidence in his ability to learn and converse solely in French! We cannot thank Anne Andre enough!

My second aim was to speak with friends and I now have a third aim to explore written Spanish in the form of short stories and modern novels. It's been a fantastic journey which I would never have attempted without the help and encouragement of the staff at Sun Spanish. After reading articles and a novel, no matter how imperfectly, renouncing English and speaking in Spanish, no matter how imperfectly, I feel myself falling in love with the language. Who could ask for more. Thank you Sun Spanish. I am a very happy student.

I have been taking lessons with Alex for a year now. It's mostly on and off, mostly off due to my…read morescheduling. The reason why I reached out to Alex was that I haven't been using my writing skills for years because I was in sales and it requires little to no professional writing at all. In the beginning, the cost was a bit higher than I had expected. I never had to pay for a tutor, so I don't know what the average price was. Nonetheless, I still scheduled a meeting with Alex. I wanted to see if $$$$ means quicker results. I have noticed that my writing skills have improved over the year. He was able to point out the mistakes I been overlooking and help me catch these mistakes. He is very patient and is willing to work with my crazy schedule. I can't say that my writing skills were improved overnight. It did require that I also do homework, and my willingness to improve as well. The bottom line, could I write a novel without any mistakes? No. Could I write professionally with little to no mistake? Sure.

I highly recommend Alex for someone who needs an accent reduction course!

She…read moreis kind, patient, and incredibly supportive, which makes learning Mandarin feel encouraging instead of intimidating. She is incredibly resourceful --whether it's tailoring lessons to my goals (conversational, ordering food, asking for directions), finding creative ways to explain tricky grammar, or sharing practical tips for real-world conversation, she always make sure students walk away with a deeper understanding, lots of practice time with each other, and had fun while doing it by focusing on topics that interests them or gamifying the lessons. She even wrote her own book series based on her experiences of what works best with young children and teens. Kyle balances professionalism with genuine warmth, so every session feels both productive and enjoyable. Despite my daughter's crazy schedule with sports, music, school activities, teacher Kyle always finds a way to be flexible and accommodate our needs. My daughter is now in high school and of course chose mandarin as her language of study because of the fun and support she received from teacher Kyle. If you're looking for a mandarin teacher who is not only skilled but also truly invested in your success, look for teacher Kyle!

She's been a wonderful teacher and makes learning Chinese a fun and enjoyable experience. She's friendly, engaging, and always has such positive energy. I'm so glad we found her! Kyle Laoshi uses a variety of games and activities to keep the class interesting, and she's so good at motivating my kids with fun digital prizes that they talk about with each other like they're real. ;] They like working from the printouts she provides, and they love how she shares funny personal stories related to the content they're learning. The class is a quick 30 minutes which works great for our busy schedule. Kyle makes efficient use of time in each session. The pace is just right and my kids are focused and engaged the whole time. Kyle is able to get them to chat conversationally in Chinese and participate often in each class. Our classes are usually a mix of native and non-native speakers, as well as kids of different ages. Kyle takes a lot of time before each new semester to make sure each student is placed in the best class for them. I highly recommend Kyle Laoshi as a Chinese teacher. She's a great fit for kids of all ages and skill levels, and she's always willing to work with you to find the best class for your child's needs. I'd recommend doing more than one class per week if your schedule allows, as we've found that both a conversational and a read/write class can provide a well-rounded learning experience. If you're looking for a dedicated, talented, and fun-loving teacher, Kyle is the one!
